OpenOffice.org to Get Firefox Extensions and More

From the article: 'Second, and I think that although we have no clear road map for this yet (besides, our version naming scheme is going to change once again ), OpenOffice.org and StarOffice shall include the Mozilla Foundation's Thunderbird and Sunbird (calendaring application) in the future. Besides the inclusion of those two softs inside the office suite, connectors to Sun Calendar Server and Microsoft Exchange will also be developed accordingly.'"

    including Firefox-like extensions

    They renamed the macros and made them harder to install? Wow. FOSS is realy going down the drain.

    Seriously. Firefox has one of the most fucked-up extension-systems in existence. I find it easier to develop, debug and deploy a binary plugin for Eclipse than for the AOL-browser Firefox. That's what you get from letting a incompetent cunt run a project.
